A great little theatre with really interesting and enjoyable shows. The café is cozy with excellent coffee and friendly staff, and there’s always something interesting to leaf through while you’re there. A real hidden gem.

This is a small, intimate theatre in the heart of London. Close to Warren st and Great Portland st it’s easy to get to. The tickets are given on confirmation of booking name and then it’s the mention of “sit anywhere” that made me drop 1* because it’ll be great to be allocated seats for fairness. Reasonably priced food and drinks options available in house. Toilet facilities clean and tidy.

New Diorama Theatre has around 80 sittings, with a lovely bar and coffee shop definitely a lot of fun here. Every month is a new theatre show and the tickets are accessible to all budgets. This theatre is irresistible!
